Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chappell, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chappell offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
